Mr. Choi Si Woo?
(Episode 29)
- Ms. Na So Jeong? - Yes, it's nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Oh, this?
I pulled a ligament in my wrist while playing the violin.
It'll come off next week.
I see. Have a seat.
I wanted to postpone this because of my wrist,
but I heard that you're very busy.
Right.
Write something on my cast.
I think it'll bring me good luck.
(Jung Jin Ah)
(Na So Jeong)
Did you write your name on your cast?
No, my dad wrote this.
Wishing me a speedy recovery and hoping that I can...
make a name for myself as a violinist internationally.
I hope you achieve that goal.
I hope Na So Jeong will be...
the first violinist people think of.
I'm surprised.
By what?
It doesn't sound like you're just saying it.
You sound sincere.
I am being sincere.
I'm going to Italy next week.
I'll be performing with the Florence Orchestra.
I see. What will you be performing?
My personal favorite is Cesar Franck's "Violin Sonata".
Cesar Franck's "Violin Sonata"?
What do you like about it?
Since it's about wedding,
there's a sense of pure romanticism about it.
You seem to know a lot about music.
I studied at Marangoni in Italy.
I went to many recitals when I used to live there.
Fashion and music have a lot in common, you know.
I'll be performing Cesar Franck's "Violin Sonata".
I'd love to hear it someday as well.
I forced myself to come here today...
because my dad said he wouldn't let me perform overseas otherwise.
But now, I'm happy I came.
I'm glad to hear that.
Ms. Jung, are you having a hard time coming up with design ideas?
Yes.
I'm having such a hard time as well.
Shall I go see Ms. Choi? She always perks me up.
It's so nice to see you two being such good friends.
You think so too, right?
- How about some coffee with me? - Sorry?
I have to talk to you about something.
What is it about?
My brother who's in the military now...
is coming home tomorrow on a furlough.
Your brother?
The owner of the room you're using now.
What about it?
He wants to stay home for about 2 to 3 days.
I wanted to see if you'd be okay with it.
- Where will he sleep? - He said the living room would do.
The living room?
I know that you'll be uncomfortable.
That's why I'm asking you in advance.
He'll be going out for drinks with friends, and he'll be busy.
He'll rarely be home.
Still...
Well, if you'll be that uncomfortable,
you should stay somewhere else for two days.
I'll deduct those days from your rent.
All right.
Thanks for understanding.
Your rent is so reasonable anyway.
You can't find a place like mine...
for that amount of money in the entire Seoul.
I'm aware, of course.
- That was fun, boys. - Goodbye, sir.
Let's go.
Here, drink up.
Oh, boy. I'm exhausted.
I gave my all so that you can get great design ideas,
and I'm so exhausted now.
What? You gave your all for me?
You seemed most excited out of everyone.
- Did I seem that excited? - Yes.
All right, show me.
Let's see if you got any good ideas.
No. I'll show you when I have the design draft.
What's with you now?
Were you busy taking photos of me because I looked so cool?
My goodness, you're so full of yourself.
I'm at a loss for words.
Yes, Mr. Heo.
I'm outside now.
Yes, I'll head back right away. Okay.
- Show me. - No way!
Yes.
Oh, come in.
- My gosh. - Surprise!
Thanks so much. Have a seat.
Okay.
There.
What's up? Are you struggling with the design?
How did you know?
Whenever you're stuck, you step out and buy flowers.
I know it's your habit.
My gosh, you sure are my endorphins.
Endorphins?
You're the only person who calls me like that.
There's someone who calls you an angel.
Who? Mr. Lee Sang Hyun?
He doesn't even mean it.
He likes to joke, and he's simple-minded.
Judging from the chat I had with him over drinks, I think he means it.
Frankly, it made me a little anxious.
What are you talking about?
My feelings for my angel...
When it comes to my love,
I'm confident that no one...
can outdo me...
By the way, where did Si Woo go?
Why? Do you need to talk to him about something?
No, I haven't seen him all day, and I'm happy about it.
You're happy about it?
He's been on my case lately.
In the 30 years of my design career,
I've never been hounded like this before.
It's probably because he wants to win right off the bat.
After all, your team has the best of the best. That much is expected.
I'm aware. I was just kidding.
Don't tell anyone. He's on a blind date now.
A blind date?
I should uproot the problem before it comes to a head.
Do you think there's something going on between him and Ms. Jung?
I don't think there's anything going on.
He's my son. I know him well enough.
I had a good time today.
Let's have a meal together next time.
I had a great time too. It was fun.
I could be at ease around you.
Let's go. I'll give you a ride.
It's okay. I brought my car.
You'll drive with that wrist?
My dad sent his driver with me...
to make sure I don't blow you off.
- I'll be in touch. - Okay.
Next time we meet, I won't have this.
All right.
Grandpa's 49th day ceremony is around the corner.
I can't believe how much time has passed.
We'll do it at home, right?
Yes.
I told Ms. Heo to prepare everything.
Great. I should read up on the customs...
in advance.
There's nothing special.
We just need to prepare a few of his favorite dishes and...
It'd be great if you could get a balsam plant.
- Sure, I'll let my mom know. - All right.
Well, Ms. Heo told me something.
Is Ms. Han Seung Joo staying at the guest house now?
Yes.
She had a break-in last night.
People are watching.
I know that their engagement is off,
but there were marriage talks between her and Si Woo.
This will probably make me sound heartless,
but she should leave.
But why?
Pardon me?
Whether they were engaged or not,
she is my friend.
- Friend? - That's right, a friend.
Friends must help each other out.
She lives alone,
and a burglar broke in and went through her entire place.
It'd be so scary for her to be in that space alone.
She lives alone now?
Yes, she moved out...
because of her dad's marriage.
Then she can go stay with her father for a bit.
The thing is, Mr. Han's brother-in-law caused some trouble,
so they had to downsize to a two-bedroom place.
His brother-in-law lives there too.
I'm fully aware of what your concerns are.
But I can't make her go back to her place...
just because of what people may think.
Understood. I should've been more thoughtful.
First, I'll change all of her locks to digital ones.
I'll make sure she leaves when she recovers from that shock.
All right. I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Okay.
His brother-in-law caused trouble, so they had to downsize?
By the way, what brings you here?
Sorry?
Oh, it's...
Right, I was just running an errand for my brother-in-law.
Oh, it's me. Can you look into something for me?
It's about Minhan Group.
Find out how the company is doing these days.
All right, I'll wait to hear from you.
A block deal? What is that?
Is it like a toy block? That's all I know.
I did some research on the Internet.
It's basically like...
trading a lot of shares after the market hours.
Right, but how?
The seller and buyer...
will pick a day and time after the market hours...
and trade their shares.
You idiot. My question is,
how will you pull it off without Man Seok finding out?
I just need to log into the trading website he uses,
but I don't know his password.
How can we find out his password?
You're always trying to hack some kind of password.
Yeon Sil, we're talking about two big bills here.
If I have that money, I can open up a small Internet cafe...
and turn my life around.
If the Internet cafe does well, I can pay back all my debt,
and I'll even give you allowance.
So please, help me out.
Hey... What?
- You want me to find out? - Yes.
No way. I can't.
Who can do it if you can't?
If I ask him for his password for the trading site,
will he go, "Oh, this is my password"?
Do you think he'll give it to me?
You're spewing total nonsense.
Right, so you have to be smart about it.
How, exactly?
That I don't know.
Stop talking nonsense. Just go make some stew.
Today, make soybean paste stew.
I already bought all the ingredients.
You frustrate me so much.
I won't be the only one benefiting from the shares.
The money from the shares will be deposited into Man Seok's account,
and I'll get those two big bills.
Everyone will be happy. Am I wrong?
The money from the shares?
How much are we talking?
We're talking six figures, at the very least.
Then everyone will be happy indeed.
What's going to make everyone happy?
I want in too.
- Man Seok. - Oh, it's...
If I make soybean paste stew...
while she makes spicy stir-fried pork,
- everyone will be so happy. - Yes, that's right.
Oh, you're right.
Then I'll go make soybean paste stew.
- Wait, Seon Gyu. - Yes?
Why did you go to Hyunkang earlier in the day?
Oh, I went to see Mr. Park...
to ask him to find a position for me.
Mr. Park at Hyunkang? I'm pretty sure he left the company.
Right, I only found out about it today.
I went all the way there for nothing.
It's good that you're actively looking for a job,
but you should avoid places that are affiliated with my company.
No matter how discreet we are about it,
people already know about what you did.
It just won't look good.
Right, okay.
He's trying to land a job as soon as possible...
so that he can pay back at least some of the money.
- Don't scold him, Man Seok. - Gosh.
I'm not scolding him.
With Hyunkang, Seung Joo is involved too.
I only brought it up because we should be extra careful.
Oh, I sent Seon Gyu's allowance to your account earlier.
Have you checked your account?
My gosh, an allowance for Seon Gyu?
She forgot her password for the account.
Gosh, you did?
What?
Oh, yes.
I guess I forgot because I rarely use it.
You'll have to visit the bank in person...
with your ID to get it sorted out.
Right, I should.
Are you already starting to become forgetful?
You're still too young for that.
There are too many passwords that I need to remember,
so I wrote them all down on my phone.
These days, some passwords must include special characters.
It can be such a hassle.
I see. I should write them all down too.
I'll go wash up.
You go make soybean paste stew. And you, spicy stir-fried pork.
I'll wash the dishes later.
Man Seok, you're the best.
High five.
Oh, boy.
You're still here.
Yes.
I can't give you any advice without seeing it.
Start out by drawing what comes to your mind.
Then you can fill out the details one by one.
Okay. Thank you.
Let's go. I'll drive you home.
No, it's okay. I'd like to get more work done.
All right, then.
- Why did you let him in? - Goodness gracious.
That mean wench.
She's pregnant, for goodness' sake. She should really try to be kind.
Gosh, that's ridiculous. What a joke.
Ms. Yang.
What is it?
Please mind your posture at all times.
And refrain from using harsh language.
Otherwise, you'll blurt out such words without realizing it.
Oh, boy.
That lady is...
incredibly mean.
She's pregnant.
It'd be wise for her to be kind to others.
- Like this? - Yes, that was great.
I'm stepping out to go to the market.
The market? We bought all the groceries the other day.
Chairman Ahn's 49th day ceremony is tomorrow, so we need many things.
Is that ceremony tomorrow?
My gosh, where did the time go?
I'll go with you.
Then you should go get changed.
Why? Do I have to dress up to go to the market?
Since you're the lady of the house,
you have to look graceful and elegant at all times.
Gosh, fine.
Why must I put up with this at this old age?
Poor me.
Go on in.
The current owner has to undergo some big surgery,
so he wants to sell it quickly.
There's everything I need,
so I can open up the cafe tomorrow if I want to.
This is pretty good. Nice ambience and a great location.
Hey, I'm a businessman.
At a glance, I can tell whether or not it'll be profitable.
I never invest in things that won't be profitable.
Gosh, he's our only son.
Can you just be supportive?
Why must you talk about profitability?
No, Mom.
I'll work hard and earn as much as I can.
Since Dad is trusting me with this opportunity,
I'll make sure I pay him back in full.
Of course, clarity and transparency are key in any business deal.
Nothing in life is free.
That's how the world works.
I know you're my son, but some rules just shouldn't be bent.
Absolutely.
But I won't charge the two of you,
so come by often.
All right, it's all done.
Here, take this. Simply placing it over the lock...
will unlock the door.
That's strange.
What's wrong?
The share transfer agreement is gone.
What? The share transfer agreement?
My dad brought it over because he wanted to give me...
Hyunkang's shares that he owns,
but I refused, so he just left the agreement here.
That agreement is gone.
- Is that the only thing missing? - Yes.
That's odd.
Why would a burglar take it?
Is it possible to obtain the shares...
with that transfer agreement alone?
I'm not too sure, but I doubt it.
Could your dad have taken it?
He came by that day, you know.
I should ask him.
Hi, Dad.
When you came by my place the other day,
did you take the share transfer agreement?
The share transfer agreement?
Why would I take it?
It's gone?
Could you have thrown it out by mistake?
It's okay.
Without an authentication certificate of my seal,
that piece of paper is practically useless.
That's right.
Have you had dinner yet?
I see. I've eaten too.
Don't skip meals, okay?
All right, bye.
Was that Seung Joo?
She lost something?
She said the share transfer agreement is gone.
Did someone steal it?
No, she probably threw it out by mistake.
Yeon Sil, what thief would be stupid enough...
to steal that?
Thieves would take valuable things like jewelry.
Right?
- Yes, you're totally right. - Yes, I'm telling you.
My goodness.
Have you not told your dad about the break-in?
No, I didn't want to worry him.
You did the right thing.
You're so thoughtful and considerate.
It's so strange.
I know for a fact that I put it...
in the bottom drawer when my dad gave it to me.
And this was the first time I opened the drawer after that day.
If the burglar actually took the agreement,
it must be someone who knew about it.
Right, it's probably someone who needs those shares.
Anyway, let's go.
Go where?
You left your stuff at my place, so stay with us for a few more days.
I'll be too worried if I leave you here alone.
Okay, let's go.
I heard she really liked you.
She said you're smart, empathic,
and polite.
Is that right?
She's rejected every guy her family set her up with,
but she only said good things about you, so they're happy.
Right, what girl would reject you?
What did you think of her?
Does my opinion matter to you?
Of course, it matters.
Do you think I'd force you...
to marry someone whom you don't even like?
You see, I just don't understand you.
What do you mean?
You, yourself, suffered because of Dad's arranged marriage.
Must you really marry me off like that?
What's the matter, Si Woo?
What's our goal?
It's you inheriting Hyunkang.
If you want to inherit the company,
you must approach marriage with a business mindset.
That's your goal,
not mine.
It's my goal?
Are you seeing someone now?
No.
I'm not.
I don't believe in love,
so do whatever you want.
Don't make a foolish choice.
I trust that you won't.
Okay.
Let's have dinner. Come downstairs.
Mr. Choi.
How about we celebrate over a drink?
- Let's drink up! Drink up! - Let's drink up! Drink up!
- Until when must I keep dancing? - Until when must I keep dancing?
- Cheers! - Cheers!
I'm back, Yeon Ji.
- Jin Ah is back! - She's gorgeous.
Say hello, Young Cheol.
- My roommate, Jung Jin Ah. - Jung Jin Ah.
Salute! Private Seo Young Cheol.
It's nice to meet you.
My, you're so beautiful.
I like ladies who are older than me.
My brother is so goofy.
- Drink with us. - Come join us.
- Drink with us. - Come have a drink.
No, it's okay. I'll just get my stuff and leave.
Have a good time.
Gosh, don't be like this!
Okay, fine. Then I'll drink this all by myself.
One more time.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Nam Jin will be home shortly. Can't we wait for him?
Do you expect everyone to starve until your son comes home?
You can fix a meal for him when he gets home.
When Seung Joo...
Seung Joo?
Why would she come here?
You kill me.
I should've stitched your lips together a long ago.
Don't worry. I already know everything.
What? How did you know?
Rumors have already spread at work.
People are gossiping about how Si Woo's fiancee lives with Nam Jin.
Everyone thinks they're seeing each other.
Well, my angel.
There's nothing going on between Nam Jin and Seung Joo.
- They're just... - It doesn't matter.
Si Woo is seeing someone now anyway.
- Mom. - I never even liked Seung Joo.
I only considered marrying Si Woo off to her because Mr. Han...
really wanted him to be his son-in-law.
It's all sorted out, then.
We no longer have to take food to the guest house.
She can eat with us here from now on.
Sure, whatever.
She won't be able to swallow any food in front of me.
Let me ask you one thing.
Why is Seung Joo staying here now?
I think she had a break-in.
- A break-in? - Still, how dare she come here?
Can she think or not?
Dear Ms. Thoughtful.
You should come home early tomorrow.
- Why? - The 49th day ceremony is tomorrow.
Come home early and help us with the food preparation.
Why do I have to cook?
Well, you are his daughter-in-law. Who else should do it, then?
You'll not even lift a finger...
while Ms. Heo and I prepare all the foods?
Okay, fine. I'll come home early.
- Hey, Nam Jin. You're back. - Hello, Ms. Heo.
Could we have dinner at the guest house?
Sorry for the hassle.
- Don't worry about it. - Ms. Choi.
Could I talk to you for a minute?
You want to talk to me?
What is it about?
It won't take long.
Go ahead. What's it about?
I heard you said you need my dad's shares.
Well...
Did I say that?
I don't recall saying that.
You told my dad that you wouldn't hire his company...
for anything in the future if he didn't give you his shares.
Right, I guess I did say that.
Why did you do that?
It's all your fault.
Did you call off your engagement to my son...
without even expecting these consequences?
So is that why you took the share transfer agreement...
my dad gave me?
What do you mean?
Did you hire someone...
to steal that agreement from me?
- Mom. - Seung Joo.
You impudent wench.
How dare you accuse me of stealing?
(It's My Life)
I guess both Nam Jin and I are dumb.
We're fools for not being able to stop, knowing it won't work out.
I thought Man Seok was sloppy, but he's actually quite thorough.
What? He set up a passcode on his phone?
- Ms. Na. - If you two are okay with it,
I think you should get engaged...
before So Jeong leaves for Italy.
